TCI & Big Stuff
 

Why would you need the TCI unit or powertrain unit if the BS3 has the trans controller built in?

thanks! The dash is real carbon fiber, actually made by the same guy who made my carbon fiber valve covers.

Jody

well, when I looked into it the controller wouldn't work with the paddle shifter. Also, although built in it takes an extra $500 to have it activated.

Jody

i just noticed your narrowed rear frame... that is somthing ill have to do to my malibu next tile the body is off.. could you post some pics of when you did this, id be interested in seing how the jig was configured..

Mark Stielow did it when he first built the car.

Hey Jody, where did you get your CF dash insert?

Nice... it really seems like a dooable job... and so much more worth it than the regular g-body frame notch... ir feems like all one would need to do is weld a square frame under the rear frame and relocate the rails inwards..

I've got the Popular HotRodding issue where Mark narrowed the frame. I'll have to scan it in some time for all to see.

I know Jody get's asked about it a lot. ;)

It was made by Carbon Components, same people that do the covers. If he still does them then our sponsor http://www.carbonfibervalvecovers.com/carbonvc.htm should be able to get them.

As some of you know, I'm selling my Hogan setup and bought the new PMC intake http://www.precision-metalcraft.com/. First thought, absolutely beautiful work. Very unique look. Many will wonder why change as the Hogan's is a great manifold also. I have a few reasons.

I originally ordered a manifold from a pic on their website; they don't use part number per se, so I told him what I was looking for. I wanted a rounded top, but when it arrived it was the standard flat top with bolt on plate. Looked great so it wasn't a big issue.

I also set it up for hidden fuel rails, which meant you needed to use the ultra short LS7 injectors. The largest you can get that I'm aware of is 65#, and that will limit my engine, need a larger injector.

So when Kevin showed the pics of this new manifold I was in love........ :yes: Gives me the rounded top I wanted, larger injectors, uses standard GM throttle body, and uses stock o-ring factory gaskets. I can't say how cool this manifold looks, and at $2250 retail it's several hundred dollars cheaper than the alternatives. It also incorporates some extended runners and stacks inside the plenum which should make great torque. Here's the pics:

Jody,

Man that looks nice

?? is that a spacer on the front of the Manifold ??

ps - i need one for my throttle body

no, just a billet piece they put on there to bolt the throttle body too; however, it would work as a spacer.

Jody

any chance you can share there web link ??

sorry, I added it to the other post, and forgot to do it here.

That looks awesome Jody. Very good choice, not that Hogan's are any thing to sneeze at. Can't wait to see it complete!

What a trick piece!....Great choice....Motor looks incredible..:bow: :thumbsup:

:woot: :captain:

I had some carbon fiber stuff done from Wabbits
http://www.wabbitsww.com/
They did some custom inserts for my console. The consoles are originally chrome plated, and mine had been powdercoated silver like the header coating. I had it painted the dark gray of the dash and engine compartment and then added the carbon fiber. Here's a sneak peak of the rear section of the console, with Mark Stielows custom stainless cup holders added. I'll post up full pics when it's done.

I also had them do my steering wheel ring in carbon fiber; I really like the way it looks with the Twist Machine paddle shifter.

Jody

That looks killer :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

man i love carbon fiber

expensive?

not cheap, but I couldn't live with the other look, they don't reproduce these consoles, and I didn't want just an aftermarket shifter sitting on the floor, liked the completed look of a console there. Plus, where would I put any cupholders?????????? :D

Dash and Console
 

That dash and steering wheel look awsome with the console it will tie it all together. I can't wait to see it done.
Wayne

Dang, man. That is sick!

Is that the dash insert that Mark had done or a new one?

Cars looking great!!

yes, same one that Mark bought when he did the car. Built by Carbon Components, the guys who do our carbon fiber valve covers for our sponsor http://www.carbonfibervalvecovers.com/carbonvc.htm

They do nice work! Im trying to get my cousin to buy some BBC valve covers for his drag boat! :yes:

We need more pics, Jody. :D :cheers:

I can attest to the Carbon Components valve covers and Carbon fiber valve covers.com. I had a set on the Red Witch that had bubbled for some reason. Even though they were a couple years old and out of their control for a couple years they sent me another set. The new set is perfect and they weigh nothing.:cheers:

Jody,

Mali2ude is looking amazing! Are you thinking of swapping out the
current gauges with the Autometer carbon fiber ones..:unibrow:

Love the steering wheel..and that gorgeous new EFI intake!
